Chapter 1213 Fazheng takes the blame
Fa Zheng's words were sincere and sincere, but Cao Ang and others felt very happy.
Your father-in-law and son-in-law blocked the Silk Road forcing to buy and sell, but if something happened, they would block the disaster with the people. The people of Liangzhou dig out your ancestral grave and were buried by you in this way.
Cao Cao even sneered: "The people of Liangzhou are indeed great men. The court also knew that Xiliang was poor and specially granted new crops to be planted in Caozhou. As far as we know, the new crops are grown well in Liangzhou. They can completely solve the problem of food and clothing in less than a few years. The living conditions are much higher than before, so they will never be able to survive."
"You two son-in-law and son-in-law rely on the army in their hands to openly disobey the court's laws and regulations and block the Silk Road and forcefully buy and sell. Why, if the court really can't deal with your Xiliang cavalry?"
Cao Cao stared at Fa Zheng with a soul-catching light shot out in his eyes, like a tiger ready to choose people at any time. When he said the last sentence, he suddenly increased his decibels, which scared Fa Zheng with a harsh voice.
Although Fa Zheng had also been to the battlefield, the evil aura on his body was not the same as the murderous Cao Cao. His legs were a little weak when he was staring at Cao Cao. He lowered his posture and bowed and said, "Wei Gong Mingjian, people are not afraid of being poor, but they are afraid of comparing. The lives of the people in Liangzhou are indeed much better than in previous years, but when compared with the Central Plains, they will not be able to get on the table. As for people, after solving their food and clothing, they will start other pursuits. The people in Liangzhou are also human beings, Wei Gong."
"Liangzhou did something wrong in intercepting the caravan. The governor Ma also deeply realized his mistake and was willing to hand over all the ill-gotten wealth he had obtained during this period. Please ask Duke Wei to lift the blockade. Liangzhou is poor, and it really cannot be without this path."
Just listen to it if you submit it all, and whoever believes it will be a fool.
Ma Teng blocked the Silk Road for several months. Who knows how much he earned? Isn’t it that people say that it’s just as much?
If you send an investigation team to investigate this matter, and if you don’t investigate it, don’t tell me if you really go, wouldn’t it be ridiculed by everyone in the world?
Wouldn’t they just rob the road and make some pocket money? Is it embarrassing to lose this amount of money?
All the court wants in this negotiation is attitude. The attitude of the law is correct. Cao Cao's face also eased. He said coldly: "The ban can relieve the crime but cannot be avoided. The Dahonglu Fa Zheng blocked the road and robbed openly violated the court's laws. The crime is not to be forgiven. The nine ministers were demoted to common people. Dahonglu, do you have no objection?"
Fa Zheng: "..." Can I say no, blocking the road and robbing is really not my idea.
He took the blame when someone made a mistake. Fa Zheng was so depressed that he just wanted to hit the wall, but he had to smile and said, "Mr. Wei is wise and thank Wei for his open gratitude."
Cao Cao then smiled and said, "After the ban is lifted, there is still a good discussion on how the court cooperates with Liangzhou. Cao Siqing, you are fully responsible for this matter. You will sign a contract with the Da Honglu, no, with Master Fa as soon as possible."
To be fair, the bargaining chips given by the imperial examination back then were too heavy. The position of the Nine Ministers was the end of the struggle of many generations. He had to go to an exam, how can others balance their minds?
More importantly, the arrangements after the reform of the official system. Cao Cao has not yet figured out that it is appropriate to give Fa Zheng a title of a few rank official, so he took this opportunity to completely get rid of it.
Fa Zheng was very happy to resolve the matter. When he heard the negotiation with Cao Ang, he said in embarrassment: "Duke Wei, can you change someone?"
This master is famous for Zhou Bapi. Can he get a good decision with him?
Suddenly, Cao Ang was unwilling to do it. He was busy rehearsing a lot of things recently. Who was in the mood to talk to Fa's surname and was about to refuse. After hearing Fa Zheng's words, he quit on the spot. He said in a bad tone: "What do you mean, look down on others?"
Fa Zheng: "..." It’s not that I look down on you, but that I look down on you too much.
Cao Ang sneered, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will definitely have a good talk with Mr. Fa."
The father and son decided to make the decision as soon as they sang a double act. Cao Cao said, "Young Master Fa must be tired from afar, so let's go down and rest first."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who brought him came forward and took him out of the hall to take him to the inn.
After the man left, Cao Cao smiled and said, "The Liangzhou matter has been resolved. How much skin can be taken from Ma Teng depends on Zi Xiu's ability."
Xun Yu and others laughed out loud when they heard this. They were surprisingly confident in Cao Ang.
After chatting for a few more words, everyone left, and only the father and son were left in the hall.
Cao Ang gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, Fa Zheng is resourceful and has many wisdoms. It is not easy to have him attack Liangzhou. In my opinion, it is better to do it and throw him down and throw him into Langya, and let him and his second brother go to Caozhou to build Lu State."
Cao Cao was moved when he heard this. He thought about it and shook his head and refused, saying, "It's not the past. He was just an ordinary scholar who had a great fortune. We can send someone to assassinate him. But now he is Ma Teng's son-in-law. If he really detains someone, Ma Teng will definitely throw him to Liu Bei. One hundred thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry and a powerful general like Ma Chao are not a joke. As for the fact that he is resourceful, I don't care. The court is full of talents now, so I'm not afraid of him being a mere law and filial."
"At present, our biggest enemy is Liu Bei. Ma Teng is our focus to win over the target and we cannot offend him easily. We not only cannot make things difficult for our son-in-law, but also have to serve and protect him well. Don't let him be assassinated by Liu Bei's people, do you understand?"
"As for Ma Teng blocking the road and robbing, I really don't care. As long as I don't turn against each other, I'll do it."
Fa Zheng is now Ma Teng's son-in-law. When something happened to Xudu, Ma Teng would take the account to Cao Cao even though he knew it was not Cao Cao who did it. Who made him not protect him?
This is what happens in the world. Many times what is important is not right or wrong.
Cao Ang said depressedly: "I understand, I'll go talk to him now."
After leaving the hall, Cao Ang did not go to find Fa Zheng.
Negotiation is also skilled. This time, the initiative is in their hands, so he is not in a hurry at all. He will just leave the law for a few days and wait until the New Year is over.
Now what he is most important is the Spring Festival Gala.
This is the first Spring Festival Gala of the Han Dynasty, and it is also a project he and Lu Xin and his wife are responsible for. They said they would do anything and they would be prosperous.
Recently, Lu Xin has been rehearsing, both as a director and an actor. She is so busy that she enjoys it and she doesn't even care about her children in school.
When he arrived at the backyard, he found Lu Xin was rehearsing dances with Zou, Du, Zhen Mi and others who had passed the confinement period. Cao Ang did not disturb him. He picked up his second son, who was wearing the same clothes as a zongzi, stood beside him and clapped his hands and laughed and smiled, "Baby son, who do you think is beautiful about your mother or second aunt?"
Cao looked back at Lu Xin and then at Zhen Mi. His little eyes rolled several times before he said in a slight voice: "Second Aunt."
Cao Ang: "..." Your mother will ignore you when she hears me.
This child was too honest. Cao Ang was afraid that Lu Xin would harm him when he heard it. He decisively carried him to the amusement park, and said with emotion: "Oh, it would be great if you were half smart as your elder brother."
